When Jeff opens a trunk in the closet of his new house, he also raises Eugene, a portly, self-effacing French vampire packed away a hundred years ago by his evil bloodsucking cousin, Vennard. Although Jeff struggles with moving to a new town, the focus of this broad farce stays on Eugene, who is portrayed as ineffectual but lovable, with dialogue reminiscent of Miss Piggy.
